Present Perfect

What is it about?

What words do we use with it?

Write down an example sentence!

Present Perfect

Which brings us back to what we need:

- I/you/we/they + have + past participle (*voltooid deelwoord)

- He/she/it + has + past participle

- past participle = altijd 3e rijtje (to know, knew, have known)

Present Simple vs. Present Continuous

Present continuous

Goal: to know what to use and look out for when writing the Present Continuous

Input:

- What is the present continuous about?

- Do we know something similar? (in Dutch maybe?)

- What words do we need?

- Write down 2 example sentences you can come up with now

Present Continuous

Reproduction:

Understanding what we learned

Consider the following sentences:

''She is baking snacks at a food stall''

''They did feeding the animals''

Is the present continuous used correctly? Write down why/why not.

Write down what is missing!

What about these sentences? 

''She has know him since 5 years''

''My English teacher has came back from Wales''

*hint: the tense in these sentences are all wrong

''She has know him since 5 years''

''My English teacher has came back from Wales''

These were tricky.

The first sentence uses 'know', which we don't often use with present continuous ('I am knowing him', not really good is it?)

The second sentence must be: '... is coming back from Wales'

Present Continuous

Which brings us back to what we need:

- I/you/shit/we/they + to be + verb + ing

En bij de Present Simple?

Keep it Simple

Use it with: facts, habits and common things

- I/you/shit/we/they + verb 

(I walk, she comments, they organise etc.)

Present Coninuous

Goal: to recognise what to use and look out for when writing the Present Continuous

Recognise: 

- pronoun + to be + verb + ing

Identify:

- different tenses (have been/going to/ was etc.) < don't use this

- I/you/shit/we/they + to be + verb + ing
